Default Sell me on a 4" single exhaust

Alright, new motor=new exhaust. I have 2.5" x pipe with dynomax bullets, but Ryne was telling me about doing a 4" single because it'll give me more ground clearance. If I stick with duals I'll be moving up to 3". I love the sound of my exhaust now, but... i already scrape the **** out of my exhaust as it is. My new 3" pipes would probably turn into 2" ovals in a week. So sell me on a 4" single. I'm thinking a magnaflow bullet muffler, its only 6" long so can't really muffle that much which is fine.

i think one of the guys that went through his shop had a 4" with a turndown and a borla muffler there was a thread a while ago. I believe his user name was white mongoose or smething similar, he might have sound clips.

Why not over the axle...here are some pics of my exhaust.





By the way...my car is lowered somewhere between 1.2 and 1.5 inches, is daily driven and has a 9" rear. It is nice but not too loud even though it doesnt have cats. I just took the y pipe all the way to where it goes over the axle off last weekend to do the clutch, came off and went on really easy.

My car used to scrape alot before I had this exhaust. With my loudmouth it hit on everything...now only REALLY big speed bumps hit and ive only found one that hit in the last 6 months or so.

what torque arm are you running? I like the way that looks, but i'd be happy with it dumped before the rear. I'm running a 3.5" ds and I'm not sure any bullet muffler would really fit that well though, most of them are 5" round.

That torque arm is made by and for the Midwest Chassis 9" that I have. My driveshaft you see there is a strange 3" chromoly.

You may not be able to fit the muffler there but if you are going for a hidden exhasut tip look you can always go over the axle and dump it after the axle. Its the same effect but there is alot more room back there.

Duals sound great but I was so sick and tired of my exhaust rubbing on speed bumps and gate tracks and everything. I asked Ryne about different options and he suggested the 4" with this muffler and I honestly dont think I could be happier. Sometimes I think I want it louder but its alot different sitting in the drivers seat than it is outside of the car and I dont want to attract too much attention

yea so many steep ****** driveways everywhere i go they kill my exhaust. I'm pretty good at avoiding speed bumps tho. Alright well maybe a 4" over the axle, with a bullet muffler, no tips. Looks like they make 4" e-cutouts as well

That would be sweet and id actually like to have a cutout as well just for the sound but with the size muffler I went with there really isnt anywhere to put it.

Very true...the great thing about getting the exhaust from Ryne is that he wont charge you an arm and a leg if you need to modify it. When my exhaust was installed I had the 10 bolt still, then I installed the 9" and took it to him and he took care of it and a few other issues for a killer deal.

I had tap duals on my old SS and I now have a single 3.5" exhaust w/magnate race series muffler. I will never go back to dumped duals. Dumped duals got old real quick. My car was lowered on sport lines so the exhaust scraped on everything.

I also have an e-cutout on my 3.5" single exhaust

I'll give you a good deal on my 4" Mufflex. It has dual 3" out and sounds really good. You can come hear it on the car, if you like it I'll get it taken off and my dual setup (been sitting on my porch for months) put on the next day...











GREAT ground clearance (and my car was slammed in these pics, it is higher now)...





I'll give you everything from the Flowmaster Y back CHEAP (considering it is about $700 worth of exhaust) just to give me incentive to get it off and finally do my dual setup. PM me if interested...

I think even 3.5" would be sufficient. My car makes some serious NA power through a 3.5" over axle setup. Just in case you want to make the fit a little easier
